Also, why would Rubio agree it will lift them economically but then say it will do nothing for human rights and Democracy in Cuba?

Because he thinks it will secure him votes out of Miami. That's the only reason he is vomitting the garbage he is.

Hey Roadvirus, it appears that way. Whatever he can't get through Congress, he has his pen ready for an E.O.. Have you read the Declaration of Independence lately? King George and Obama have a lot in common. Cheers and Merry Christmas!

Are you going to say he doesn't know what he is talking about when BO peep went around his back on this issue too? Did you note that part about Menendez the Democrat telling Corker the Republican to hold Hearings on this matter.

Rubio and Menendez are malcontents who bring nothing to the table on this issue.

The pardoning and release of thousands of political prisoners, allowing prominent opposition activists to return from exile, reducing internet censorship, eliminating media censorship boards, passing new labor laws including better wages and workers rights, etc. are all examples of the significant reforms brought about in Burma because of the diplomatic skill of this Administration.

They are a totalitarian regime. Political prisoners. State sponsor of terrorism. Oppressive, communist dictatorship. And we should ignore that and just open an embassy in Havana? Are you kidding? I see no upside. What upside are you seeing? And don't tell me that if we are nice to them they will change. And we get what in return?

Perhaps if 19 Cubans hijack planes and kill thousands of Americans we could have normalized relations with them then...

And again, what is the upside, you didn't put one in your response.

How about the upside is that a friendly neighbor you trade with won't ever desire to house Russian nuclear missiles pointing at us juuuuuuust off our coast? I dunno... Just spit balling here.

Re: U.S., Cuba to restore diplomatic relations after 50 years

Once again, Obama has caved to an enemy and gotten absolutely nothing in return.

You could buy a Cadillac from this guy for bag of Funyuns and a 40-ounce.

This thread is hilarious. It's like a big, Communist group hug. The Cubans here in the states are mortified.

What's really cool about this thread is how its drawing a distinctive line between conservatives who think and then usual conservative hacks who have nothing to say other than... "I hate obama" as their every post. Don't you agree?
